Artistic Skylight History Timeline
Commercial Installations
Artistic Skylight® was quickly becoming a reputable brand for skylights and daylighting products. With much more to offer than our sheer manufacturing capabilities, 1998 marked our first year of officially offering our commercial installation services so that a all-in-one turnkey solution could be provided to our customer base.
Adaptation of AutoCAD
With computer-aided design becoming the norm, this is the year we saw the company taking advantage of computer-aided design with the likes of AutoCAD and other various rendering software. This allowed for full technical skylight drawings to be drafted quickly and be provided to our customers for added clarity.
Move to Vaughan – 255 Regina Rd.
With exponentially growing customer demand and production needs, it was important to secure a larger facility. And so our move to our current location at 255 Regina Rd in Vaughan was completed. Our 50,000sqft. facility is our largest factory yet and still expanding.
Energy Star Rated Skylights
With the awareness of environmental issues and increasing research into home energy efficiencies, Artistic Skylight pushes the company into a new direction to have all standard model skylights Energy Star rated and classified amongst the most elite daylight providers in Canada. Today, a large variety of our unit skylights are certified Energy Star rated products providing excellent energy efficiency and daylighting benefits. We still hold our Energy Star ratings on most products to this day.
Fall Protection Skylights
The introduction of our Fall Protection Series (FPS-FF) skylights into the expanding model lineup is successfully received with high demand. With third party testing completed in association with Exova fully completed, this product is the first of its kind to be recognized as a fall protection skylight. Capable of withstanding 1750ft/lbs. of force (250lbs x 7ft. drop) FPS-FF Skylights offer aesthetics, functionality, and roof safety with no compromise whatsoever.
Introduction of Solar Tunnel Daylighting Products
Solar tunnels are a quick and inexpensive way of adding daylight to any part of a home or office. With the introduction of our Solar Tunnel products, we have been able to provide our customer base with yet another popular daylighting product. Today our kits come complete with heavy gauged aluminum flashings, fully tested roof dome assemblies, highly reflective rigid light tubes and beautiful interior trim kits.
Name and Logo Trademark
For the first time in the history of Artistic Skylight® the company name and logo is an officially recognized Registered Trademark and continues to gain brand recognition in its industry.

Models include, Model FF Commercial Skylights, Modular Butted Glass Skylight System, Barrel Vaulted Continuous Skylights, Structural Architectural Glass Pyramid Skylights.
Skylight Fall Screen Testing
With ever concerning awareness around skylight and fall protection for increased roof safety, Artistic Skylight develops and laboratory tests the new FPS-FS (Skylight Fall Screens) to meet OSHA requirements. Creating a quick, easy, cost effect, and safe fall protection product.
